From magnum with low shoulder fill. Appropriately branded cork came out intact. Dark reddish purple, opaque. Reddish orange rims. Heavy nose of leather saddle, blackberries, cranberries, dark unsweetened chocolate, walnuts, and some old wine funk. Fruit forward in the mouth and very rich. Structure, acidity and fruit all still perfectly balanced. With air it improved over 6 hours, and new notes like menthol and quarry stone in the nose were noted. This wine is probably not going to get better, but should be fine in the near term to hopefully show like this big boy did tonite. — 9 years ago

Very excited to try this bad boy. Green pepper and pencils shavings on the nose. Nice smooth tannins. Long legs. Long 30 second finish. Will go great with dinner - king crab and beef tenderloin. — 11 years ago
A very special wine. Much more complex than a normal SB in my opinion. got this bad boy in Costco for $25! :) — 9 years ago
Oh boy! After steak wine. Pax killed it! Surprised it was so ready after 4 1/2 years in oak. Fill throttle and so nicely balanced. Will be very interesting to see how this continues to evolve. — 9 years ago
What a beauty! Creamy, defined and rich. Perfumy with flowers, mint, sweet apples, minerality and very concentrated honest power. Acidity is angular, very bright and holds this huge palate together nicely (and oh boy, I wish I had a time machine to see how it evolves in 10 years). I'm still trying to crack that dominant aftertaste note — it's almost cake-like sweet, with some nutty backbone and caramel on the top. Absolutely in love. — 10 years ago
Oh, boy! If we were pleased with the 1995 preceded this, then we were ecstatic with this '86 which was richer, deeper, more complex and exceeded our high expectations. — 10 years ago
